Description

Buddy Holly "Buddy and Bob" Business Card. A natural
musician, Holly was proficient on guitar, banjo, and mandolin by
his mid-teens and was working as part of a duo with his boyhood
friend Bob Montgomery, with whom he had also started writing songs.
By the mid-'50s, Buddy & Bob, as they billed themselves, were
playing what they called "western and bop" and, at one point,
played as an opening act for Elvis when he played the area around
Lubbock in early 1955. This business card from that brief era of
Holly's career lists his and Montgomery's name across the top, as
well as Larry Welborn -- who started playing bass for the duo in
mid-1955 -- plus that of their business manager, "Hi Pockets"
Duncan, the Lubbock DJ who discovered the group. In virtually
flawless condition. With COA from Maria Elena Holly.
